WSRP Leader Hutchison: "We Have a Mountain to Climb"

State Republicans kick off 2016 governor's race with YouTube ad and mountain-climbing analogies.

The Washington State Republican Party has released a YouTube video to get members excited about the 2016 gubernatorial election.

The expenditure on the ad—shot partially inside WSRP Chair Susan Huthison's $3.2 million Seattle home—hasn't been reported yet. But the tortured metaphors—Hutchison wants "to be roped up with you"— are priceless and nearly as clunky as Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee's sweeping analogies.
